Short Description

Rhinocort may be used in adults and children six years of age and older.

Rhinocort is a corticosteroid. It works by shrinking swollen and inflamed nasal tissue, and by blocking the action of certain cells and chemicals of the immune system, thus reducing inflammation and swelling and so relieving congestion, itching, sneezing, irritation and discomfort.

Rhinocort nasal spray is also used for nasal polyps, which are small growths inside the nose that can cause symptoms similar to allergic rhinitis. It is also used to keep nasal polyps from coming back after surgery to remove them.
